Bob Gingery began his performing career in Northern California playing with many of the area’s best musicians including Dizzy Gillespie sideman Roger Hogan and veteran dummer Dan Kinkle (Dianne Reeves, Merle Haggard). Since moving to New York in 1999, he has performed with artists including  Jazzmeia Horn, Joe Beck, Brad Shepik and Allan Harris, and has appeared at the Blue Note, Birdland, B.B. King’s Blues Club and many other top venues. He has released two critically acclaimed albums hailed by DownBeat magazine as "melodic and nuanced". He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music and City College of New York where he studied with Ron Carter, John Patitucci and Geri Allen. Bob teaches guitar and bass at Concordia Conservatory, College of Mount Saint Vincent and The Brearley School.

Pianist Dan Cray hails from Chicago, IL and graduated from Northwestern University with degrees in European History and Jazz Studies. He was a finalist for both the 2004 APA Cole Porter Fellowship and the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival Solo Piano Competition, and has performed around the world in many diverse and creative settings with a variety of vocalists and instrumentalists including Ellington band alumnus Eddie Johnson, Billy Drummond, Bobby Broom, Dayna Stephens, Joe Martin, George Fludas, Peter Epstein, Mark Ferber, and Geof Bradfield.

Grammy Award-winning drummer and educator Paul Francis has extensive experience working with some of the world’s greatest musicians. He is featured on the Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett album and subsequent PBS special “Cheek to Cheek”, and toured extensively with the duo to support that recording. He continues to perform with Lady Gaga on a regular basis. Paul has also recorded and/or performed with Stevie Wonder, Jose Feliciano, Jon Faddis, David Hazeltine, Jim Belushi, Molly Ringwald, Megan Hilty, The Rockettes, Ralph Lalama, Brian Newman, Rich Little, The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra and The Albany Symphony Orchestra, and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra conducted by Buddy Morrow. Paul has also appeared on shows for HBO, ABC and MTV, and is on the soundtrack for the movie “Friends with Kids”. Paul endorses Yamaha drums, Sabian cymbals, Remo drumheads and Vic Firth drumsticks.
